AC Transit in East Oakland at 10 or 11pm can probably be dicey. However, you can use this discount to get 25% off the fare for adults and 50% for accompanying children if you're travelling to the Oakland Coliseum station (HT to commenter "cheesesteaks3" for that one).ĪC Transit:Let's be honest: you probably don't want to do this. In general, Capitol Corridor probably costs about twice as much as BART per unit of distance fares range from $7.50 to the $18 range if you're coming all the way from Sacramento or San Jose. For fares and complete schedules, click here.įor July 4th, you can (and should) take the train both ways because it's a day game! That's my recommendation for Thursday, without a doubt. That last train actually works out really well in terms of timing. Here's the same thing if you're coming from the South: Train # As I said, you'd need to find a way to get home, but if you only need help getting to the Coliseum, this might be a good bet. And Amtrak doesn't run trains late enough at night to get you home - the last Eastbound departure from the Coliseum is 8:11pm.
Obviously, neither of those trains coming from the North is a great option - one gets you there more than an hour early, the other roughly 40 minutes late. Note that I'm using high-traffic stops as examples but there are stops in between. Here's a cute little table to help you if you're coming from the North (Amtrak calls these Westbound trains, coming from Sacramento to San Jose). If you have a friend driving to one of the night games who can give you a ride home, this is a potential option. This should add about three or four minutes of walking between the BART lot and the Coliseum, but it shouldn't be a dealbreaker.Ĭapitol Corridor:A lot of people probably aren't familiar with using Capitol Corridor to get to the Coliseum, so I'll provide a little more detail here. But THIS IS IMPORTANT: To get to the BART Bridge between the Coliseum Station and the Coliseum itself, I'm hearing you'll need to walk around the BART Station onto San Leandro Boulevard and enter the bridge from the station's west side, since the BART Station access tunnels that go under the train tracks immediately east of the BART tracks will be closed.
#Coliseum bart station free
Parking at the Coliseum BART Station:As with all BART station parking lots, the BART lot at the Coliseum will be open and parking will be free of charge during the strike.
The story might be different tomorrow night for the Fireworks game. The Coliseum lots are open and fans are encouraged to carpool the A's are expecting to have enough spots to accommodate however many parties show up, at least for tonight. The promotion wasn't offered for games against the Giants and Yankees, either.
#Coliseum bart station series
Parking at the Coliseum:The first thing to note is that the Free Parking Tuesday promotion is NOT being offered tonight, since the series against the Cubs is expected to draw larger crowds. This can also serve as an open thread about the BART strike, but let's make sure that the conversation is about the A's, the Coliseum, and your transportation options - regardless of how you feel about the strike and its merits, getting into a heated, two-sided political conversation on AN won't help anything. So what are your options for this upcoming series against the Cubs? Unfortunately, they're limited, but here are a few suggestions for getting to the Coliseum. But unfortunately, there might not be many fans there to witness it, given that BART workers are on strike and the commuter rail service is completely suspended for the first time since the last strike in 1997. Tonight, the A's welcome the Chicago Cubs to the Oakland Coliseum for the first time ever.
